How to get to Machu Picchu Peru and everything you need to know (+ Inca Trail) pt. 2/2 | VLOG (51)

Good morning guys from Machu Picchu. So we woke up early this morning, we had like a 6am start because we are doing the one day Inca trek today. We're doing adventures and we are now starting our hike. So it's going to be around 7 miles, 12 kilometers, about 7-8 hours I reckon. So yeah, let's go. Smile. Okay, so we've done about 3km I think. This is a lot harder than we anticipated, well I anticipated, just mostly because of the altitude really. I feel like I can't breathe very well. But one step at a time. We're taking lots of breaks but this place is amazing. Very New Zealand-esque vibes here. Look at this. It's a rocky sand track again on this bit. Where's Theo? He's with the llama. Hello. Oh yeah, found him. Are you feeding the llamas? This is Gary. Hey Gary. We've just got to another viewpoint of Winyapwanya, which is another archaeological site here on the Inca trek to Machu Picchu. We've just found some llamas and it looks like this. I keep being told we're like at the end of the hard bit and then it just never ends. Hey guys, so we're just about to descend through the sun gate. So I can't wait to show you because this is where the sun just shines straight through the kind of old building all the way and you've got the best views of Machu Picchu. Good morning from Machu Picchu. Theo's already found the local dog. We've woken up. We slept like babies last night. Oh god, my hair is awful because I slept a little wet. But we are back off to Machu Picchu this morning. Slightly more fresh looking than yesterday when we finished. So yeah, we're gonna go back up. I just had the best day yesterday, even though it was really, really challenging. What are you doing? So yeah, we are back off to Seven Wonders of the World just to explore a little bit more. Now we're a little bit more awake and not so exhausted. So let's go. He's an American. It's okay, you can come through. Oh, it's hot today. So we are on tour with Jose who did our trek with us yesterday, tomorrow, yesterday. And he's just taking us around, showing us a little bit more about the actual urban area of Machu Picchu and the agricultural area. So he's just, I'll play some audio of him talking over the top of us walking around because he is an expert and very knowledgeable in this area. So guys, another hike you can do is this one. And you can see people on the top. I can't zoom in, but this is like a hike. Goes all the way up to the top. But we are not doing that. You can actually see the people climbing like here. There are little tiny dots on the mountain, but that's not for us today. This is the sun gate where we were yesterday. All the way up there. Good morning from Cusco. We're on a little main square in Cusco. It's very loud. It's some kind of like, the square is just busy and there's loads of kids dancing and stuff. Yeah, we had a lazy morning this morning. Still feeling a bit tired from Machu Picchu, Inca hike. But yeah, we are heading into Cusco today to just explore. So yeah, we've headed into Cusco today to just explore. We might go to a museum or two, but we thought we'd start with a good coffee because the hotel coffee is not amazing. So we really wanted a latte. So we've come here just to watch people watch, as you can see behind me. And then we're going to have a wander, try and deal with this altitude sickness again, because although I don't feel sick, I feel very breathless. And sit in the sun and then maybe read my book on the balcony later. So that's the plan for today. Chocolate. All the chocolate. Cocoa, leaves. It's bizarre. Tastes like hot chocolate. It looks like tea. Yeah, coffee and an M&M one. Afternoon guys, we've just arrived back in Peru and Peru, Lima, and it's the end of our Geo Adventures tour. We've just had the most incredible week with Geo Adventures over the last eight days. Managed to take off another wonder of the world at Machu Picchu, as you will have just seen. But yeah, we just had the best time and I'm so grateful to have been able to have been part of a tour, travel with some like-minded individuals, friends now, and also just get to see this amazing wonder of the world twice over two days, because we did the Inca Trail for a day and then also went back the next morning to have a guided tour by the wonderful Jose. So yeah, just really grateful and feeling fuelled with lots of energy and my soul is definitely fuelled with love and just excitement. And yeah, so just thought I'd round off this vlog. Thank you so much for watching.
